Corruption inside State Universities and Colleges might be thought to be the small time or less impact problem in governance compared to other government entities amassing hard-earned people’s taxes, but the fact that schools are the second home of knowledge and values of an individual, therefore, graft and corruption values (inherited, observed or adapted) must first be cut within its grooming point.

Corruption thrives in any given situation, whether How to cite this article: Eugenio Ferrer Santiago III, (2018), “Corruption Prevention in State Colleges and Universities” in 4th International Research Page 446 Conference on Higher Education, KnE Social Sciences, pages 446–468. DOI 10.18502/kss.v3i6.2398 IRCHE 2017 small/large scale corruption it’s the same, impact varies, effect differs, and those affected are the same. Corruption in governance reflects how the Philippine Govern- ment counteracts the ill effects of corruption at its doorsteps. Is there such thing as absorbed corruption? Is being corrupt a trait, a value, a norm, a culture that a person understands it unknowingly and then all of a sudden, he commits the act of large scale or massive theft in the government coffers. Is corruption a specialized skill, a learned thing, a specialized field? Corruption Prevention practice aims to dispel the curse of corruption in the society especially in civil service. This is now the era where government resources should be focused on research, learn how to mitigate and later on eradicate corruption by instituting reforms, policy and controls. We must be proactive and leave the thought of the “reactive side”. A healthy governance system can lead to a sustainable community as envisioned by treaties and conventions on development of the society and the world as a whole. Corruption Prevention is a very young term used in the Philippine Governance Sys- tem which promises a more sustainable solution to fight corruption. In a long line of jurisprudence in the area of public accountability, it has been the practice that government anti-corruption crusaders run after culprits, after the latter, had amassed a large amount of government funds; a whistle-blower “blows” out information in an illegal government transaction, or a recurrence of a complaint in the same government frontline service. The preparation and the long legal process of fighting individuals committing such infraction of law on public accountability, is evident, and sometimes the art of legal battle among seasoned lawyers now becomes the subject of the issue and not the illegal act that should be corrected and never again be emulated. Corrup- tion prevention practice in government envisions preventing corruption in happening by means of instituting concrete and implementable control and preventive policies in government processes through the use of an extensive research/corruption prevention audit tool/s. The dilemma of this infant specialization in the fight of corruption is the lack of acceptance and internalization of the value of corruption prevention in government organizations presumably due to want for information or just getting tired of thinking that there still hope in fighting corruption. “Leadership by example”, “Setting the tone at the top” and other good governance principles for the leaders in government is the heart and soul of a corruption prevention audit tool. It is in the hands of the head of such government agency to implement a policy to prevent corruption at its door step. Now, the run of a corruption prevention audit tool can be voluntary or mandatory due to an executive order issued by the Aquino administration. DOI 10.18502/kss.v3i6.2398 Page 447 IRCHE 2017 The Duterte Administration’s rearing towards federal government [1, 2] making the would-be “federal states/subdivisions” more independent in their governance and making them prone to a lot of political discretions which may redound to more chances of graft and corruption, shall be the scenario, if corruption prevention atmosphere or culture will not be enthralled to the systems in place. The author, in his more than a decade practice in a government agency specializing in the anti-corruption, believes that there are now three theories involving Anti-Corruption studies in the Philippines. These are: 1. Theory of Corruption Studies. This body of knowledge focuses on the root causes of corruption, culture of corruption and case studies on corruption antecedents in public service. A wide and variety of articles, local and abroad, are available, since experts who have already ventured into this field are most of the time political scientists, psychologists/psychiatrists, anthropologists, historians or even sociol- ogists who try to explain why there are incidents of corruption, why a person engages in such an act. This is the baseline study for all anti-corruption studies; 2. Theory of Corruption Prevention Studies is the friendly approach to ease the pain of the term “graft and corruption act or practice” The author believes that cor- ruption prevention is the encompassing field covering internal auditing, making agency analysis framework, systems study, red tape assessments, corruption resistance review, corruption vulnerability assessments, integrity systems check, documentation of good governance practice, monitoring and evaluation of good governance practices, corruption risk ratings, corruption prevention awareness campaign/drive and coordination activities. This body of knowledge can be for social science researchers and public administrators, since their involvement and practice are into government systems and procedures. The institution of recom- mendation policies at an immediate time controls and prevents corruption from happening; 3. Theory Punitive and Correctional Studies is the tooth and fangs aspect of fighting corruption. This field studies procedural aspects of conducting investigation and prosecuting perpetrators of graft and corruption, recovery of ill-gotten wealth and others. This body of knowledge can be practiced by criminologists, lawyers and penal institution enforcers. DOI 10.18502/kss.v3i6.2398 Page 448 IRCHE 2017 2. Objectives of the Study • Start awareness among the Academic Community the value of this infant spe- cialization in public administration. • Create impact to researchers to venture into the study of the Corruption Preven- tion in Philippine Governance System (National/Local). • Instill the value of corruption prevention amongst the Top Officials and Middle Managers of State Universities and Colleges to institutionalize the practice of corruption prevention. • Invite insights and fresh/new developments presently done or accomplishments in the area of corruption prevention practice in State Colleges and Universities 3. Problem Statement • How does SUCs conduct their fight against corruption and promote transparency in institutional administration that their students shall emulate when they grad- uate from such SUCs. 4. Materials and Methods The methodology of this research is Exploratory Research going Qualitative Research with Survey. Exploratory research is research conducted for a problem that has not been studied more clearly, establishes priorities, develops

  • Ateneo Law School Holds 72Nd Commencement Exercises
    AMICUS, Latin for “friend” or “comrade”, is the faculty bulletin of the Ateneo School of Law. It seeks to build a community of law school faculty members who inspire each other and the studentry to be skilled in the science and art of the law, to be imbued with a burning passion for justice, and to lead in serving the nation for Vol. 6, Issue 1 • August 2018 the greater glory of God. Ateneo Law School holds 72nd Commencement Exercises By the UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS AND PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICE Surviving four years of college alone is a daunting task. It takes a lot of emotional and mental stamina to get through it; four years of law school requires even more. For the 181 Juris Doctor graduates of the Ateneo Law School Class of 2018, July 15, 2018 was a bittersweet goodbye to the school and environment that had challenged and pushed them to their very limits. Administrators of ALS as well as the Ateneo Professional Schools were there to see the graduates off, including Antonette Palma- Angeles, PhD, Vice President of the Professional Schools; Atty. Jose Maria G. Hofileña, current Dean of the Law School; Atty. continued on page 16 ALS faculty, graduates, and families filled up the Meralco Theater to witness the ceremonies.
